To a stirred mixture of benzyl 1-(hydroxymethyl)cyclopropylcarbamate (50 g) and DCM (200 ml) was added DIPEA (39 g). The result solution was cooled to 0-5° C. with ice/water and further stirred under this temperature for 15 min. MsCl (30 g) was added via an addition funnel dropwise keeping temperature below 5° C. for about 1.5 hours. After completion of addition, the reaction mixture was allowed stirring at 0-5° C. for 30 min and quenched with saturated NaHCO₃ (150 ml). The solution was extracted with 150 ml DCM twice. The combined DCM layer was washed with 0.1 N HCl (400 ml) followed by brine. It was dried over Na₂SO₄ and concentrated to obtain an off-white solid 60 gram as (1-(benzyloxycarbonylamino)cyclopropyl)methyl methanesulfonate (Y1-1), MS: (M+1) 300.

It was then cooled and filtered through Celite, further evaporated. 2N HCl (200 ml) was added and extracted with DCM/MeOH (10/1, 100 ml) twice. The aqueous layer was basified with 3N NaOH to adjust pH 11-12 to generate a solid precipitation. The solid was filtered and washed with water to neutral, further suction dry. The solid was dissolved into a mixture of DCM/MeOH (250 ml, 10/1) and further washed with water and brine.

Example 16 A Mouse Model of Laser-Induced Choroidal Neovascularization (CNV)

(1) Experiments were performed in C57 BL/6 mice at 10 to 12 weeks of age. Laser CNV was induced with a 532 nm diode laser mounted on a slit lamp, using 50 um spot size, 100 ms duration and 100 mW laser energy. Each eye received 4 laser burns. Stock solution of AL3818-H1 was made by dissolving the compound in water to 25 mg/ml concentration, and further diluted to working solution of either 250 or 25 μg/ml in water. Mice were orally gavaged at dosage of 2.5 or 0.25 mg/kg body weight, in volume of 200 μl per 20 gram of body weight, once every day starting at one day before laser treatment until 10 days afterwards. Control group mice will receive gavage with water which is used to dissolve the compound. By the end of the experiment, mice were subjected to fluorescence angiography to exclude the spots with hemorrhage and other mechanic injuries caused by the procedures. Mice were sacrificed and CNV size was measured by immunostaining of RPE/choroid flat mount co-stained with FITC-conjugated isolectin B4 and anti-ICAM2 antibody. For groups of control, 0.25 mg/kg and 2.5 mg/kg, we examined 43, 44 and 49 eyes on RPE/choroid flat mount. After immunostaining, images were taken on a Zeiss fluorescence microscope. CNV size was measured in Image J software. Our results (FIG. 18) show that mice treated with AL3818 at 0.25 or 2.5 mg/kg body weight had nearly 70% reduction in average size of laser-induced CNV. (2) The potential synergistic or additive effects between AL3818-M and anti-VEGF antibody was also studied. Immediately after laser burn, mice were treated with a monoclonal VEGF neutralizing antibody from R&D Systems (mAb AF564) at 1 μg dosage by intravitreal injection.

We had 4 experimental groups: control (treated with water), AL3818-M, anti-VEGF, and AL3818-M+anti-VEGF. A total of 75 laser spots were analyzed. Mice in control or AL3818-M alone group received the intravitreal injection of saline in the same 2 μl volume. The results ((FIG. 19) showed that eyes treated with 0.15 mg/kg AL3818 and 1 μg anti-VEGF antibody had a nearly 30% reduction in laser CNV as compared to the control group (P<0.01, one-way ANOVA, Dunnett post-hoc test).
